  A dealer buys a T.V. set for Rs. 2,500. He marks it at Rs. 3,200 and then gives a discount of 10% on it. Find:

  (i) the selling price of the T.V. set

  (ii) the profit percent made by the dealer.

  given,

  cost price(CP) of the tv set = 2500/-

  marked price(MP)of the tv set= 3200/-

  rate of discount=10%

  Total discount=3200 x10/100= 320/-

  i) Selling price=3200 -320

  =2880/-

  ii) profit=SP-CP

  =2880-2500

  =380/-

  profit percent= (profit x 100)/CP

  =(380 x 100)/2500

  =38000/2500

  =380/25

  =15.2% is the profit percent made by the dealer

  Given:

  T.V buying price = 2,500

  Mark price = 3,200

  i) Selling price = Mark price – Discount

  Discount = 10 % of 3,200.

  = 10/100 * 3,200

  = 320

  Selling price = 3,200 – 320

  = 2880

  ii) Profit percent = Profit / buying price * 100

  = 380 / 2500 * 100

  = 15.2 %
